OUR SCHOOLS.

EDITOR CHRONICLE
l regret to state that the time is draw
ing near for the closing Of our schools.
Again the children will be running wild,
and in every way undoing the good that
has been accomplished during the past
ses sion. The shortness of the session
has given our principal little opportunity
to demonstrate his ability as thorough
organizer, but, short as it has been, he
has conclusively proved that he can
bring order out of chaos. It is only
necessary for one to visit the school to
note the marked Improvement in every
respect. am pleased to see that Ian
guage-a subject go often neglected
receiving the attention that should be
given it, and the most improved and ad-
vanced methods are being used in the
teaching of higher mathematics. The
children are taught to depend upon
themselves, and a spirit of self.reliance
is developed that will benefit them in
after years. Let the parents visit the
schools and see for themselves the pro-
gress that is being made.
